 'Tis the Name for adoration,

'Tis the Name of victory;

'Tis the Name for meditation

In the vale of misery:

'Tis the Name for veneration

By the Citizens on high.

'Tis the Name that whoso preaches

Finds it music in his ear:

'Tis the Name that whoso teaches

Finds more sweet than honey's cheer:

Who its perfect wisdom reaches

Makes his ghostly vision clear.

'Tis the Name by right exalted

Over every other Name:

That when we are sore assaulted

Puts our enemies to shame:

Strength to them that else had halted,

Eyes to blind, and feet to lame.

, we Thy Name adoring

Long to see Thee as Thou art:

Of Thy clemency imploring

So to write it in our heart,

That, hereafter, upward soaring,

We with Angels may have part. Amen.
